Meet the Lawyers’ Committee for 911 Inquiry

The Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry is a recently formed tax-exempt nonprofit public interest law firm, currently raising funds to support a program of investigation, litigation and advocacy for an independent investigation of 9/11. It seeks to bring before judicial scrutiny the best scientific evidence regarding 9/11, its origins, and its effects, most if not all of which has never been examined by a court, largely because of waivers of rights signed by families who received indemnity payments from the government. The Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry co-sponsored the 2016 “Justice In Focus” Symposium in New York City, at which a panel of distinguished attorneys led by noted public interest litigator Daniel Sheehan heard testimony from architects, engineers, and first responders on matters contradicting the official version of 9/11. Please take time to listen to the presentations at www.justiceinfocus.org. The Committee has developed a number of legal strategies in pursuit of 9/11 accountability, which it will implement as resources are obtained to do so.

The Committee’s Director of Litigation wrote a legal brief which was distributed to key Congressional representatives and helped them obtain the release of the much-discussed 28 Pages of a redacted 9/11 report.

The Lawyers’ Committee for 911 Inquiry is organized exclusively for charitable, educational, and scientific purposes, and for defending human and civil rights secured by law, and for promoting government accountability consistent with 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Committee Purpose

Subject to the foregoing limitations, the purposes for which the Corporation is formed are more specifically described as follows: The organization shall conduct investigations and public education in the public interest regarding matters related to the tragic events of September 11, 2001 (hereinafter referred to as “9/11”) and the circumstances leading up to and following those events, with a focus on government accountability regarding investigation and prosecution of those responsible for the crimes related to 9/11 (whether those responsible are foreign or domestic individuals, corporations, or government entities).

A primary goal of the organization is to help the public, as well as law enforcement agencies and Congress, learn the full truth regarding the events of 9/11 including verification of those components of the official government story regarding these events that are true and exposing those components that are false. One method used by the organization will be the filing of Freedom of Information Act (hereinafter referred to as “FOIA”) requests to obtain information from government agencies that will then be disseminated to the public. The organizations purposes are limited to those specified and referenced in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

When will our public official stand up for justice?
Resolution for a New Public Congressional Investigation regarding the alleged terrorist incidents on September 11, 2001
WHEREAS some 3,078 architects and engineers (AE911truth.org,), some 320 skilled commercial of military pilots (Pilots for 9/11 Truth), some 600 PhD scientists and some 58 elected public officials are saying that scientific irrefutably evidence proves that the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings were destroyed by explosives,
And WHEREAS these experts believe the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) committed criminal negligence (LIED) in doing their investigation and writing the final report and NIST made no recommendations to improve the steel makeup of future high rise buildings to prevent them from collapsing due to fires.
And WHEREAS David Ray Griffin, PhD lists over 100 lies included in the official 9/11 Commission report in his book, The 9/11Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions,
And WHEREAS 911 Commissioners Tom Kean and Lee Hamilton said that the FAA and NORAD did not tell the truth to the Commission, the Commission failed to bring charges against witnesses who they alleged gave false testimony, and 9/11 Commissioners former US Senators Bob Kerrey and Max Cleland called the Commission’s investigation a cover up,
And WHEREAS the group calling itself the Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry has, as of the summer of 2018, petitioned with the US Attorney in Manhattan, New York to convene a Special Grand Jury (which may now being investigation 9/11, but we can not know this for sure because even the fact that a Grand Jury in the process of investigation, is classified or secret).
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED we call for a new, public Congressional investigation be convened regarding events before, during, and after the mass murder on 9/11.

The line that 'We are so anxious to prevent a further attack, we will do anything to get information' was, I realised, to distract anyone from seeing the truth about who was behind it.
The levels of aggression in 'Islamic extremists' should not be under-estimated, often encouraged and incited, but that is not the overall picture.
